Behar: The Right Attacks VP Harris Because She Is a Black Woman — They Can’t Attack Biden, ‘He Looks Like Them’

Joy Behar told her co-hosts Thursday on ABC’s “The View” that the Politico article alleging a hostile work environment in the office of Vice President Kamala Harris will be used by the right to attack Harris because she was a black woman.

ABC legal analyst and co-host Sunny Hostin said, “I think that this has a lot to do with, yes, politics, but it also has a lot to do with the fact that she’s a woman of color and a woman because we know that things that are acceptable for men are not acceptable for women. Maybe she’s, you know, running a tight ship. Maybe she’s expecting a lot from the people that work for her.”

Behar said, “You know, there’s something about this story that doesn’t pass the smell test for me. I mean, this is the second big story about Kamala harris, a negative. The first was at the border, and now this. She’s only been at the job for six months.”

She continued, “You know, what’s interesting is this will be used by the right-wing to attack the Biden Administration. Isn’t it interesting they go after a Black woman? They don’t go after a white guy, Joe Biden because Joe Biden looks like the base on the right. He looks like them. It’s hard to get mad at him because then they get mad at themselves. Something psychological is going on there. She doesn’t look like the base so it’s easy to go after her. I don’t put much stake in this. I think this article is meaningless. Politico pretty much goes right so I don’t trust it.”
